As I explained - there is an element of randomness to this - otherwise the result would be known before the simulated series even began.
I see a particular driver was highlighted (27th) and it would seem illogical for them to be that low based on last season's results.
Who knows:
Perhaps the weather closed in suddenly (it was Donington in March)?
Maybe the car failed a ride-height check?
Grid Penalty for blocking?
Overboost on the engine?
Any one driver can have a bad day qualifying.
Just for reference though - Hamilton qualified in 20th at Round One in 2019 so is it too much of a stretch for him to have got an 18th?
In 2018, Turkington qualified 18th at Silverstone, and 17th at Brands - again, he is capable of having a bad performance on occasion.
